Summary:
"
Marilla
Cuthbert was fifty-two years old when the plucky red-headed
Anne
Shirley came to live with her and her brother, Matthew, at Green Gables farm on Prince Edward Island. A seemingly cold and dour spinster, her heart eventually softens to the loveable orphan girl. But for over a century readers have wondered, who was
Marilla
before
Anne
? In Louise Michalos's remarkable debut novel, readers are introduced to a spirited eighteen-year-old
Marilla
Cuthbert - a girl not unlike
Anne
herself - who is desperately in love, and whose whole life is spread
before
her. But when a moment of defiance brings life-changing consequences, a new
Marilla
begins to take shape, one who would learn to bear tragedy like a birthright, and loss as an inevitability, and who would hold steadfast to the secrets that could shatter the lives of everyone around her. Weaving its way from
Marilla
's early life in Avonlea to her coming-of-age in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and back,
Marilla
Before
Anne

Anne
of Green Gables have longed for. Told with a refreshingly original East Coast voice, this exquisite, heartbreaking work of historical fiction takes readers on a journey back in time, to the Green Gables where
Marilla
Cuthbert lived, loved, and learned, long
